I'm not 100% sure but I think its UTC.

Good news is I've fixed the older releases now and run test builds to
check things. There were a couple of fixes needed but I've sorted those
and done a test artefact deployment too. This just updates everything
to use the new builder names.

The QA process is unchanged. If a given build generates a test report,
whichever release it is, it will be collected up but if not that is
also fine. This means we can opt in to the new code if/as/when we
backport anything. So we're good for sumo.

We do need to sort these gpg issues across various stable releases
though and probably tweak master too.

There were some test results ordering changes I'd be tempted to
backport just as they make reading the build logs so much easier...

Cheers,

Richard
